My 2003 Dakota keeps overheating. It has the 4.7 motor. The first time it overheated I took it into the shop and they replaced the fan clutch and it started running cool again. After a while it starting heating up again and they replaced the thermostat. This helped for a while, but once again it's overheating. It heats up mostly when I'm driving slow and idling. When I'm going 65 mph or faster it's usually fine. Also when it heats up coolant runs out the overflow sometimes. What could the problem be? And what can I do to fix it?
